One of the French designers always does enchanting things with organdle. Often aho uses two, three, or even more shades, one on top of the other. At other times she produces a shaded effect by wide hems and bands of two thicknesses of the same colour over a pale alip, or she makes the frock in one colour and the sash

A successful full swing

in many cases is a hopeless ambition, as it is clear that the control of the club is lost before the start of the downward swing. To those players who are un- successfully persevering with a full swing I recommend the adop- tion of a shorter swing-AY, A three-quarter or half swing. This can be regulated according to your ability to control the clubs effec- tively. If the swing is taken with case and rhythm, keening full con- trol of the club on the whole Journey, it will be found to be surprisingly effective. When driving off the tee stand firmly and comfortably, and have the ball in line with the left heel.

Don't let your mind dwell on the necessity of rising on your toes, In fact forget it.

Concentrate on (1) keeping your eye fixed on the back of the ball where you wish to hit it; (2) swinging the club in a natural, eaay manner; (8) keeping full con- trol of the club; and (4) hitting
